Île Raphael is an island in the
Saint Brandon archipelago, a group of 30
outer islands of
Mauritius.[1] The island is named after Veuve Raphaël.[2]
Veuve Raphaël's husband was a sea captain[3][4] and had installations on the corner of rue (route) des Pamplemousses and rue Fanfaron in Port Louis. Captain Raphaël travelled regularly to
Île Raphael,
St Brandon from
Port Louis and, on 17 May 1816[5] and November 1817,[6] is on record as bringing back
salted fish (Poisson Salé[7][8]) on a
Lugger called 'Le Cheriby' ('angel' in old French).
Today, Île Raphael's population amounts to less than 40 people and constitutes the majority of
Saint Brandon's entire resident population. Some employees of
Raphael Fishing Company stay and work on the island for periods of up to seven months, depending on the season. Île Raphaël is the principal base for line fishing, fly fishing and fly casting activities by resident fishermen.[9]
